really big problem with paint

so today i went to take my back bowtie off and i used goop off and it stained or took the clear off my car. its a perfect bowtie outline in a light silver and i am pissed. i wanted to put my ss badge there but i guess not ne more. it also put circles and lines down the fender. they arent as noticable but are still there. Do you guys have any tips on helping me out here?

What is the goop off made of? Hopefully not Methylene Chloride.

And pics please to illustrate.

Goof Off contains Xylene which can eat away at the clear coat if left alone

Thanks Y'all. All i did was find a good clean pic of a bowtie online, take it to a Fast Signs down the street from the house and have them make one with a gloss black center and matte black edge. They printed 2 of them for me for like $12 i think?... Worth every penny though.
From a distance people cant even see it, s'only when you get up close it hits ya
